Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, issued during the reign of William III (1511-1512), features a unique design element - a stylized image of a wild boar on the reverse side. This symbol was chosen to represent the region's rich hunting traditions and the boar's importance in the local culture.
